Snowy Plover for Carmen
Description
The following description was submitted by an outside party. The views expressed are the individual’s own and are not representative of the Museum of Ventura County.
[User contributed description] Carmen Ramirez worked tirelessly to protect local beaches and the Santa Clara River from inappropriate development and other human disturbances. She was a major influence in getting some bad behaviors reduced at Ormond Beach. This western snowy plover represents all the native wildlife species that benefitted from her efforts. I remember her attending a meeting at someone's home of a group I volunteer for that documents the washed-up animals on beaches for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Wherever Carmen could help the health of beaches, which in turn benefits local citizens, she would.
